FIRST YEAR

During your fi rst year, you will dive

straight into the world of law. From the

very beginning, you will experience

the reality of the legal practice with the

simulation of diff erent legal professions

in a global economy.

Through comparative legal methodol-

ogy, you will become familiar with the

principles and foundations of private,

civil, and criminal law, which includes

the analysis of diff erent legal systems.

You will also learn about law history

and public international law, developing

critical thinking and reasoning skills,

which will lead you to have a thorough

understanding of the legislation that

governs relations between states, tradi-

tional international organizations, and

other international players.

SECOND YEAR

This innovative and practical learning

carries on into your second year to

help develop the soft skills and atti-

tudes that will allow you to become

a legal professional. Through the

Introduction to Litigation course, you

will obtain the skills required to un-

derstand and eff ectively use the main

principles and categories that make up

civil procedures.

From a comparative and international

perspective, you will continue with

criminal law and obtain a solid founda-

tion in regards to the common princi-

ples of administrative law, employment

law, and property law. Special attention

will be given to private international

law, and you will acquire knowledge of

various EU institutions and their tasks

in relation to EU law.

At the end of the year, you will have

an in-depth knowledge of the relevant

legal issues that concern companies

and commercial enterprises, through

an understanding of commercial and

corporate law institutions and rules.

THIRD YEAR

As you progress to your third year, you

will deal with the most signifi cant

aspects of litigation, such as procedures

for civil, labor, and criminal law. You

will develop critical thinking and

analyze the main concerns that appear

during legal practice, such as civil

disobedience or the fairness of justice.

Further emphasis will be placed on the

management skills that are required to

manage a law fi rm and develop your

professional career. If you want to start

your career as soon as possible, you will

have the chance to do an internship at

law fi rms such as Cuatrecasas, PwC, and

Latham & Watkins.

You will have classes on taxation,

accounting, and � nance, in addition to

learning about the most fundamental

structural elements of a tax system. You

will review and compare key tax con-

cepts in an international environment

and obtain basic notions of fi nance from

a theoretical and practical standpoint.

You will also develop the skills needed to

understand the administration of family,

state, and trusts.

FOURTH YEAR

This is probably your most exciting

year! If you choose to practice law in

Spain, this year you will be given the

option to do an internship at a presti-

gious law fi rm or do an exchange study

program for up to one semester at one

of our respected partner institutions.

You will also be able to personalize

your studies by taking electives such as

Competition Law or Advanced EU Law,

and even learn how they practice law

in India or China. You will also be able

to participate in international events

like moot courts or LawWithoutWalls.

Aft er your fourth year you can contin-

ue with a Máster en Abogacía or LL.M.

at IE Law school.

If you choose the Dual LL.B., Bachelor

of Laws plus Bachelor in Civil and

English Law, your fourth year will be

at the University of Law in England,

doing the Legal Practice Course.

Throughout your fi rst three years,

you will have followed online courses

made available by the University of

Law, England.

If you’ve chosen the Bachelor of Laws

with a LL.M. or a J.D. at Northwestern

University, year four will be situated

in the United States. A LL.M will take

you one year, a J.D will take you two

years to fi nish. It will take you one year

to complete a LL.M, or two years to

complete a J.D. Once you are back in

The Language Pro� ciency Track (LPT)

is designed for students who wish

to quickly adapt to studying fully in

English in the LL.B. program at IE

University. This track is led by the IE

Law School and it is available for fi rst

year LL.B. students. It will allow you to

access the Bachelor of Laws in English

and study with people from over 100

countries while strengthening your

language skills. The enrolled students

have an early start that begins a few

weeks before the academic year, and

lasts one academic year.

Students who take part in the

Language Pro� ciency Track will be

required to enroll in:

1. Summer Early Start: Led by the IE Law School, here you will

go through the fi rst unit of the English

Pro� ciency Course and Legal English,

and you will study courses like Oral

and Writing Skills, all in English.

2. Continuous support throughout the fi rst year:In addition to your regular LL.B.

subjects, throughout your fi rst year

you will have some mandatory courses

that are meant to improve your En-

glish skills to reach the required level.

WHO IS IT FOR?

The program is designed for any

non-native English speaker who needs

to enhance their English skills starting

their very fi rst year of study, in order to

complete the entire degree in English.

Studying law at IEU means being immersed in an

international environment and facing challenges at a global

scale. In order to prepare you for the real world and avoid

language constraints, our Bachelor of Laws is fully delivered

in English. For those who need to improve their English

language skills in order to study law in its international

language and graduate with an advanced profi ciency level,

we off er a special track during the fi rst year.

THINGS TO REMEMBER

1. The Language Profi ciency Track

is mandatory for those candidates

who have been admitted to the

LL.B. + LPT. This will not only

enhance their language skills, but

will also help them build their

confi dence and adjust to the

environment.

2. The Summer Early Start cannot

be substituted with a summer

course abroad or English classes at

an academy, since it is part of the

LL.B. program and you will learn

specifi c content that is relevant to

your law studies.

3. The reinforcement subjects are

compulsory and cannot be replaced

by other courses.

4. In their second year, all LPT

students will study the exact

same subjects as the other LL.B.

undergraduates.

skills, which are essential to profes-

sional success.

on analyzing reality from diff erent

perspectives in order to develop

your own points of view, and on

establishing positive conditions for

your success. You will learn how to

infl uence, motivate, and encourage

others towards eff ectiveness and

productivity.

The aim of our humanistic approach

is to train young inventors, vision-

aries, and world-changers who, by

exploring the humanities, can discov-

er new paths to reveal unexplored

aspects of reality.

“After fi nishing

high school in

Palma de Mallorca,

I decided to stay in

Spain because I fell in love with its

captivating culture, rich language,

vast historical heritage, and

incredibly warm-hearted people.

I think Spain is unique in how

welcoming it is to foreigners—one

can easily become integrated into its

society and acquire a true sense of

belonging.

When it comes to my degree, I

decided to study law for many

reasons. First of all, I felt that law is

the kind of discipline that provides

you with a substantial set of

theoretical and practical skills that

are useful in pursuing a meaningful

career in the future. I believed that

law is a fascinating tool that will

allow me to make a difference in

the lives of my future clients. In

other words, you could say that it

was my internal sense of justice

that made it appeal to me. Finally, I

wanted to study a complex subject.

I enjoy challenging myself and I felt

that law is a diffi cult discipline that

would catalyze both my academic

and personal growth. In that sense,

and in many others, I found what I

wanted at IEU.

I would also like to point out that

most of the professors actually

practice law themselves, which I

believe to be of crucial importance.

The professors possess the most up-

to-date perspectives on their area of

expertise and share their invaluable

practical knowledge with us.

In addition to providing high-quality

education, IE University is very much

an up-to-date and modern university

that does everything it can to ensure

its alumni fi nd the best jobs after

graduating. They put a lot of effort

into organizing events, such as

job fairs, where students can meet

potential recruiters and important

contacts. They also provide each

student with a mentor, whose aim is

to guide us through the journey and

help us resolve any problems we face.

I’m also very grateful that IE

University is gaining a great

reputation both in Spain and

internationally. This is very important

considering the fact that it’s often

diffi cult for alumni of private

institutions to compete with

graduates of prestigious traditional

universities.”

CORPORATE LAWYER

If you decide to work as corporate lawyer, you will ensure business risks are minimized and corporate functions conform to the law on every level. You will also specialize in multiple aspects of law and how it pertains to business operations, as well as study, draft , and negotiate contracts. You will consider issues such as acquisition processes, harassment suits, liability manners and tax consequences, and ensure the legality of commercial transactions, advising corporations on their legal

rights and duties.

TRANSNATIONAL LAWYER

As a transnational lawyer, you will represent clients in civil court proceedings—working inside courtrooms—regulate actions or events that transcend national borders, and resolve transnational disputes between private parties. You will also be assisting clients in numerous asset fi nancing transactions from diff erent countries, and draft ing international joint venture

agreements.

Once you fi nish your degree, you’ll be ready to get out there and develop your career in a wide range of areas. Whether you are inspired by working at law fi rms, companies, or public practices in Public Administration, as an IE University law graduate, you will be more than prepared to use your expertise to provide a service to society on an international scale, and to make a positive impact in your fi eld and potentially beyond. Below you will fi nd some of the areas you can specialize in.

LEGAL ADVISOR

As a legal advisor, you will provide high quality advice to organizations on major legal issues. You will also assist in the interpretation and review of legal documents to help make decisions about project undertakings, and formulate the best possible legal solution with a desired outcome from the organization’s point of view. Last but not least, you will be actively involved in preparing and draft ing diff erent acts and legal submissions.

No matter which career path you

decide to focus on, you will be making

a signifi cant impact on society,

and you’ll prove yourself to be the

international lawyer you have always

dreamed of becoming.

Start-Up LabThe IEU Start-Up Lab is an incu-

bator where you can develop your

business plans and make them

investment-ready with guidance

from professors and entrepre-

neurs.

IEU Labs are IE University’s alternative to traditional

work placements. They provide hands-on, intern-

ship-like experience on campus to fi rst- and second-year

students who wish to begin gaining professional experi-

ence. There are ten labs to choose from, and each allows

you to build your professional profi le and gain valuable

practical knowledge of diff erent sectors. You will also

extend your professional network through direct contact

with managers and directors of leading companies.

Throughout the program, you

will work under the tutorship of

professors, while experts provide

training in areas like marketing,

funding, and strategy and legal aspects,

among others.

When the time comes to choose,

you will be able to apply to a lab that

matches your professional interests,

or try one outside of your fi eld of study

in order to broaden your knowledge

and work with students from other

programs.

All labs start at the beginning of the

academic year and continue year-

round. In May and June, you will

work full-time in the IEU Labs and

participate in common modules

and activities, including advanced

seminars for professional skills, weekly

presentations of your work, business

simulations, and extracurricular

activities.

Sample project:

PAELLA CHEF

Objective: specialize in the creation

and distribution of canned paella in

Spain and the rest of the world.

Best things about it: we got to start a

company from scratch and be present

at each step of the process, from

the business plan to the corporate

image. We knew that in June we were

presenting to real investors, which was

very motivating!

Most challenging aspect: customer ac-

quisition. Even though we stated how

we were planning on reaching out to

customers—through paid research,

organic research/SEO, PR, social

media, inside sales, etc.—we ended up

realizing that some of our assump-

tions were wrong or too expensive,

so we had to rethink our customer

acquisition protocols.

have the option to travel to developing

countries in order to participate in real

projects that have a visible, tangible

eff ect.

Sample project:

PÉREZ-LLORCA

Objective: analyze a law fi rm’s website,

compare it with the global market and

come up with a proposal that will differen-

tiate it from its competitors.

Best things about it: meeting with the

client to obtain feedback and adapt our

proposals to best meet their require-

ments and needs. Knowing that they were

going to implement our ideas was a huge

motivation.

Most challenging aspect: finding the perfect

balance between being creative and

innovative while also staying loyal to the

brand’s image and values.

Sample project:

WEBER SHANDWICK

Objective: analyze the political, social,

economic, and legal trends that Weber

Shandwick’s multinational clients must

be aware of while doing business in

different countries, in order to propose an

institutional relations and communication

strategy.

Best things about it: the opportunity to

work in multidisciplinary teams, guided by

Weber Shandwick experts, and identify

industry insights that allowed us to come

up with accurate analyses and proposals.

Most challenging aspect: presenting results

and strategy proposals to the clients that

were worthy of Weber Shandwick’s reputa-

tion and market standards.

Sample project:

FINANCIERS WITHOUT BORDERS NGO

Objective: develop a microcredit project

and a basic fi nancial literacy course to

improve the socioeconomic conditions of

the Larbie community in Awutu, Ghana.

Best things about it: we got to travel to

Ghana for research and data collection,

which was a fantastic experience. All the

information we obtained was used to

provide fi nancial and organizational rec-

ommendations so that the institutions we

were working with could achieve enough

sustainability to become attractive to

private investors.

Most challenging aspect: knowing that all

of our decisions were going to affect real

people.

Sample project:

FROM LIMIT TO LIVE IT

Objective: come up with a proposal for

an international temporary art contest to

decorate Segovia’s city wall. Establish the

rules and create the graphic material to

send out to participants.

Best things about it: it was a very creative

project where all ideas were welcome. The

contest had specifi c objectives, but we

were encouraged to think freely and come

up with innovative proposals in order to

meet those goals.

Most challenging aspect: coming up with the

evaluation criteria was one of the most

challenging hurdles. We needed to make

sure that each aspect evaluated would

give real value to the contestant’s propos-

als and at the same time make sure it was

viable, innovative, etc.

Sample project:

ONE-TO-ONE CORPORATE FINANCE

Objective: analyze a company’s high-per-

formance benefi ts, real estate transac-

tions, and investments in private equity

funds.

Best things about it: the fact that we got

to evaluate a company’s real activity and

value.

Most challenging aspect: being able to think

long-term and come up with fl exible solu-

tions to problems which have yet to arise.

Sample project:

PRODIS

Objective: conduct a study among medi-

um-sized enterprises in Madrid to ensure

compliance with laws regarding the rights

of disabled people.

Best things about it: we raised awareness

about a topic that could make a huge

difference in our society, particularly to

those in poor health.

Most challenging aspect: fi nding out that

a big percentage of the companies we

interviewed are not aware of the law and

the alternative measures to be implement-

ed in hiring disabled people. That was

quite discouraging.

Best things about it: we got to develop

erything in our proposal was well founded

and based on empirical evidence.

Sample project:

VOICES OF THE ROYAL THEATER

Objective: execute a project to transform

the opera into an accessible and trendy

activity for young people.

Best things about it: we fi rst had to immerse

ourselves in the world of opera singers

in order to understand their passion for

the art!

Most challenging aspect: avoid making

assumptions about why young people

aren’t interested in opera. We needed to

come up with effective ways to learn their

reasons and motivations in order to create

a campaign that would impact the target

audience.

INTERNSHIPSIn touch with the real world

Page 39: Bachelor of Laws

Tell us about your

internship. How was

the recruiting process—

steps, tests, interviews?

My internships took

place at the end of my

second year, and the recruiting pro-

cesses were quite simple! Even though

each fi rm has their own process, and

sometimes these involve multiple

phases, in my case it wasn’t that long.

The fi rst fi rm I got in touch with was

Dawson Cornwell, a London-based

fi rm specialized in family law, and

they only asked me to send my CV.

Thankfully, I had taken part in multiple

activities at IE University, and I was

very proactive as well, which made a

good fi rst impression. This made me

realize the importance of getting in-

volved in the extracurricular activities

that are offered to you during your

university years. The second selection

process was in Gastão da Cunha Fer-

reira, an intellectual property law fi rm

located in Lisbon. Here I had to send

my CV as well, and write a cover letter

explaining why I wanted the internship

and what made me the most suitable

candidate for the position.

What types of projects did you work on?

I had the opportunity to be involved in

several projects. Usually, the number

of tasks you are assigned, and their

relevance, is directly related to how

much they trust you. For that reason,

it is quite important to demonstrate

your capacities and reliability from

day one. In London, I was attending

daily hearings in the Family Division

and in the High Court, where I had

to take notes on everything going

on inside and outside the courtroom,

related to our clients. I also had to

attend meetings with clients and

barristers, and draft legal documents,

such as chronologies of cases, among

other tasks. In Lisbon it was more of

an offi ce job, and I had to deal with

trademarks, applications, and collect-

ing evidence to support opposition

proceedings, among other tasks.

What was one of the highlights?

One of the projects I enjoyed most

while working in Lisbon was preparing

a presentation for app developers to

inform them about IP rights and how

they’re an important intangible asset

to protect their apps. This gave me a

theoretical and practical knowledge of

how to solve problems that knock on

the door of IP law fi rms on a daily basis.

How do you think you benefi ted from

this experience?

The experience was absolutely unique,

as I learned what it’s like working in a

city such as London, where everything

moves very fast and you need to learn

how to be effi cient and organized in

order to keep track of everything.

What are your future career aspirations?

After I do my Master’s Degree in

‘Acceso a la Abogacía’, I would like

to work as a lawyer in a large fi rm.

Although I’m still not completely sure

which area I’d like to focus on, there

are some specializations that appeal

to me more than others, such as labor

law, corporate law, and competition

law. During my studies and intern-

ships, these areas were defi nitely

some of my favorites!

What tips or advice would you give

to other students applying for an

internship?

I would recommend looking for intern-

ships where they get to be involved in

areas of law that truly interest them. If

you get the chance to be involved in an

area where you can see yourself work-

ing in the future, the motivation will

be higher throughout the process and

it’ll show in your performance. I’d also

recommend doing several internships.

Working in different environments

defi nitely develops your adaptation

skills, and enhances your knowledge of

different cultures and companies.

“Once you graduate and start working, you’ll know what to expect,

and most importantly, what is expected from you”

“The great advantage internships

present is mainly that you

are involved in real working

environments, so once you graduate

and start working, you know what

to expect and most importantly, you

know what is expected from you”

STUDY ABROADThe world in your hands

As a student at IE University, you will have several

opportunities to develop global perspectives and cross-

cultural competencies—studying abroad is one of them.

Living in another country for a semester or two is a great

way to build confi dence and broaden your outlook by

experiencing other cultures and making new connections.

At IE University we believe that seeing your studies from

new perspectives is a life-changing experience. That’s why

we encourage students to spend one or two semesters at one

of our more than 90 prestigious global exchange partner

institutions in North and South America, Europe, Asia,

Africa, and the Middle East.

“I chose Cornell University, an Ivy

lot from this decision. Not only did I

get to study at a top university, which

enhances my CV, but I also made

will eventually become leaders in

their fi elds. I got the chance to study

in the USA, where the entertainment

When I wake up I try to squeeze in

15 minutes of morning yoga, to take

a deep breath before I start running

around and working.

Taxation Law with Professor Alvaro

de la Via, who gives us the ins and

outs of life as a taxation lawyer.

Through a combination of theory

and practice, we learn about what

to do, and moreover, what not

to do as a lawyer, and also as an

individual in society.

Today we’ll attend a double session

of Accounting and Finance. Though

it doesn’t seem directly related to

the legal fi eld, it’s still essential to

be able to understand the basic

principles of accounting and to

read a balance sheet.

I go directly from classes to the

home of a Spanish family, where

I teach English to two little girls

during their lunch time. I talk

and play with them, and in the

meantime I get to see how real

Madrileños live. Apart from that, life

in Madrid doesn’t pay for itself, so

it is always nice to have a little job

on the side.

One of Spain’s best inventions is

the siesta (afternoon nap). The

secret is to not take it for longer

than 30 minutes. Anything less

provides you with a power boost.

Anything more will make you feel

very tired for the rest of the day.

I prepare for my classes for the

next day, which includes doing the

required readings, answering some

questions we will be discussing in

class, doing some initial research

for an upcoming essay, and having

a Skype meeting with my group to

go over some last points before our

fi nal presentation.

I meet up with some friends to go

have a drink and some tapas in one

of the numerous bars in Madrid,

where we catch up, and maybe

even make plans on what to do for

the weekend, such as visiting the

Prado Museum or taking a day trip

to Toledo.

What do you like most

about studying at IE

University?

I like that within my

group of friends from

the university, there is always a mini-

mum of four different backgrounds and

nationalities, which allows us to learn a

great deal from one another, not only

from what we’ve learned academical-

ly, but also by sharing our different

cultures.

When it comes to classes, our profes-

sors always make sure to provide us

with real-life examples of how their

subject is relevant to the everyday life

of a lawyer, which makes it easier for us

as students to understand what they’re

teaching. In addition, because the

classes are relatively small compared

to other universities, we all have the

freedom to ask questions and engage

in group discussions, which makes the

subject sessions very dynamic.

Lastly, because IE University really

encourages us to look beyond what

goes on in the classroom, we gain

an insight into the professional

world through networking, talks, and

internships. Over the summer, I spent

a month doing an internship at one of

Spain’s largest law fi rms, which gave

me a real idea of what it’s like to be a

lawyer.

Are you involved in any extracurricular

activities?

I’ve been a member of the IEU Event

Planning Committee, which enabled me

to organize the annual IEU Spring Ball.

I’ve also been a class representative

for three years in a row, making me

the bridge between my class and the

administration, and allowing our voices

to be heard. I’ve also been part of the IE

Legal Clinic, which is a legal lab for stu-

dents, led by professors and master’s

students, that provides pro bono aid for

those in need. Overall, I was very happy

with the opportunities IEU offers us to

be involved in everyday student life, so

that we all feel like we’re contributing

something to the university.

What are your favorite subjects and

why?

One of my favorite subjects of the past

few years was Confl icts and Business

Law, on the one hand because I am very

interested in the combination of civil

law and business, and on the other hand

because the professor was great at

explaining his fi eld of expertise. Another

real treasure I found in our curriculum

was Civil Law Property, which discusses

property and transaction rights. I liked

it because it’s a subject that you have

to deal with whether you are a lawyer

or not. Lastly, I really enjoyed Legal

Thought—which is the equivalent to

Legal Philosophy—because though it

may not be as practical as the other

subjects, I still think it’s interesting and

essential to learn about the roots of

where today’s laws come from, and to

look at the great thinkers that helped

shape our society’s ideals.

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF...

“When I think of IE University, I think of the diversity, the hands-on

experience, the closeness with the professors, and the opportunities”

“[...] because the classes are

relatively small compared to other

universities, we all have the freedom

to ask questions and engage in group

discussions”

At IE University, thereʼs no single deadline for

applying to our undergraduate programs. We have

a rolling admissions policy, which means that you

can apply to IE at any point during the year. The

various stages of our admission process are aimed

at identifying those areas of your academic and

personal profi le that make you unique, and to make

sure that our educational model is a good fi t for you.

As our programs usually fi ll up far in

advance of the start of the academic year,

we advise candidates to apply between

three to six months before the semester

begins. This will also allow you time to

obtain any necessary visas or otherqua-

lifi cations.

Once you have received an acceptance

letter, provisional or defi nitive, you must

make a €1,500 non-refundable deposit

to reserve your spot in the bachelorʼs

program of your choice.

ADMISSION PROCESSBecome part of IE University

Page 57: Bachelor of Laws

COMMITTEE DECISION-

MAKING

Once you have completed the

steps above, the Admissions Com-

mittee reviews your application

fi le, assesses your profi le, and de-

termines whether or not you can

advance to the fi nal application

phase: a personal interview.

PERSONAL INTERVIEW

The Admissions Department calls

those who have been successful

during the admission process. You

can be interviewed either on the

IE University campuses in Segovia

or Madrid, or at any of our 25

international offi ces. If you’re not

easily able to reach any of these

offi ces, we can arrange an online

interview.

The interview will allow us to get

to know you better and assess

certain qualities, such as your

personality, your ability to defend

your point of view and express

yourself, as well as other commu-

nication skills.

ONLINE APPLICATION

You can download the application

form on our website. The form

contains detailed step-by-step

instructions to guide you through

the process.

Your application is subject to a

non-refundable admission fee of

¤120. Information on how to pay

this fee is included at the end of

the form.

ADMISSION TEST

Take IE University’s admission test

or international admission tests:

the SAT, ACT, CAS, or LNAT.

The IE University admission test

assesses the verbal, logical, and

quantitative abilities you have

acquired both within and out-

side the classroom. Above all, it

centers on your ability to reason,

rather than on any particular set

of information. This means you

don’t need to study for the test

beforehand.

FINAL COMMITTEE DECISION

After the Admissions Committee

reviews your complete application

and reaches a fi nal decision, you

will receive written notifi cation

of your admission. Once admit-

ted, you may apply for scholar-

ships and fi nancial aid, make the

non-refundable deposit of ¤1,500,

and submit the documentation

required for enrollment.

If you have any questions or

would like us to explain person-

ally how the application and

admission processes work, don’t

hesitate to contact us by email at

[email protected] or by phone at

+ 34 921 412 428 or

+34 915 689 620.

Our objective is for IE University

to be the best university for you,

and for you to fi t well with us, too.
